My dad has a HP Dv9000 CTO with 2x 1GB installed right now and would like to replace with 2x2gb. Is this supported? All Manual documents and website specs state the max is 2gb. He is running win7 x64 so this is his biggest bottleneck.

Thanks.

The AMD versions definitely can. I upgraded mine. Not sure about the Intel versions, I forget when they started to support 4GB.

I currently put in 3GB total. I've upgrade to win7 32bit, which does support 4GB max. Win7 64bit maxes out at 196GB total (ultimate and pro versions). depends on your version of win7, check below for full details.

. Crucial.com states this model only supports 2GB though. im currently going to drop in another 2GB, to max out at 4GB (2x2)

this is what i've already put in, and will be getting one more:
